This is the moment a monkey cruelly dressed as a creepy blonde doll is chained to the side of the road and forced to perform in Bogor, Indonesia, on April 23

On his head, the monkey wears a giant female doll mask complete with pony-tailed blonde hair and sunglasses.

Clutching a blue bucket to collect money, the monkey stands and looks around at the drivers – waiting for anyone who might be willing to offer some payment for his act. His bizarre performance is accompanied by traditional music.

Shortly thereafter, the monkey spots someone in the car holding a paper note for him. The monkey swiftly walks over to the driver and accepts the money from the individual.

The monkey then returns to his performance – watching and waiting for another customer. The video cuts out as the music continues to play.

The bizarre clip was posted widely on Facebook on Thursday 19th April and has divided viewers.

Many have slated the cruelty towards the monkey with one social media user commenting ‘Poor monkey! Chained by his neck and tortured just to please human beings’

The incident was part of a traditional street performance known as Topeng Monyet, translated as Monkey’s Mask.

It’s a controversial form of entertainment that sees captive macaque forced to dress as human and perform stunts such as riding bicycles.

They’re chained by their neck and videos online show them being yanked cruelly whilst performing for the public.

Topeng Monyet was banned in Indonesia’s capital city Jakarta after a campaign in 2013. Many of the monkey were unable to return to the forests that they were taken from because of severe physical and mental trauma.
